hi-all,

i've a question regarding tape reclaimation.  how do i find out if tapes
are getting returned to the scratch pool when adsm is done with them?
are copypool/offsite empty tapes ever returned to scratch pool?

here are the admin sched commands i currently run:
(reusedelay is 1 day)

1:00 pm :
UPDATE STGPOOL COPYPOOL RECLAIM=75  (i also reset these both to 100)
UPDATE STGPOOL TAPEPOOL RECLAIM=75

5:00 pm :
UPDATE VOLUME * ACCESS=OFFSITE
 WHERESTG=COPYPOOL
 WHEREACCESS=READWRITE,READONLY
5:00 pm :
UPDATE VOLUME * ACCESS=READWRITE
 WHERESTG=COPYPOOL WHEREACCESS=OFFSITE
 WHERESTATUS=EMPTY,PENDING

are there other admin commands regarding reclaimation i should be
running?

i guess im not sure i understand the reclaim process.  Do tapes ever get
returned to the scratch pile?

could someone explain? please.

thanks,
steve white
